Saudi Arabia defended the controversial decision to punish the victim, saying that she was at fault for being out without a male family member, something which was met with international outcry.
"The Ministry of Justice welcomes constructive criticism,
away from emotions," it said in a statement.
Notwithstanding Mohammaddens being in high dudgeon because ISIS flag was burned by Hindu group VHP, J&K Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh was correct in saying:Anindya wrote:Apparently, J&K Muslims are mighty unhappy that the flag of genocidal maniacs has been burnt...
Jammu and Kashmir: VHP allegedly burns ISIS flags; curfew imposed in Rajouri
Dont know if the twitter account is verified.... but since someone above had asked...
J&K State VHP Patron, Ramakant Dubey was also correct in asking Mohammaddens to instead demonstrate against the use of Koranic scripture by Mohammadden Terrorists on their flag:"As far as the setting afire the IS flags is concerned, it is a terrorist outfit symbol," he added. "Is it possible? Burning of the symbol of terrorists and anti-national elements is the work of nationalism."
"They (VHP activists) cannot be arrested. This is not possible, why should we arrest them? Why should they be arrested?"
……….. the VHP, on the other hand, asked the protesters to demonstrate against the IS for writing holy inscriptions on its flag.
"We had only burnt the IS flag. We did not know as to what was written on it in Persian,"
A documentary by a Mangalurean is set to show how Muslim girls in Dakshina Kannada schools are allegedly barred from taking part in stage shows.
Swargada Hadiyalli Kamaruttiruva Kanasugalu, a documentary by journalist Irshad Uppinangady, throws light on Muslim girls allegedly being barred from performing on stage after they cross primary school. The film portrays how a few Muslim heads in Sullia, Belthangady and Puttur supposedly restrict girls from dancing on school days and at other events.
Irshad has documented how mo hallas use Islamic tenets to reportedly stop talented girls from performing, and the documentary discusses how child rights are being violated in the name of religion.
Made by Irshad with cameraman Kiran Kumar, the short film will be released in Bengaluru by chairperson of the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Kripa Amar Alva, on July 25. Irshad told TOI it took nearly a year to complete the 30-minute documentary , that explains the plight of talented Muslim girls.
“I found that clerics in the villages of Sullia, Belthangady and Puttur taluks ask parents not to allow their daughters to dance or perform at any cultural programme on school days and other events. The clerics label girls dancing on stage as going “against religious tenets“ and kill their dreams. These leaders are denying girls the opportunity to showcase their talents,“ Irshad said, adding, “it is a violation of child rights and my aim is to stop such practices to allow talented Muslim girls to come forward.“
“I have spoken to Muslim girls of many government and private schools in the district. The documentary includes anecdotes of children and opinions by child rights activists and writers, who condemn the religious diktat that forbids Muslim girls from dancing on stage.I have also included versions of Muslim leaders, who argue in favour of this religious diktat,“ he pointed out.
After the retrograde judgment of the Kerala High Court permitting the wearing of Mohammadden religious mandated garment for women namely the Burka aka Burqua aka Hijab aka Niqab, during exams, our Supreme Court restores sanity by permitting the banning of the wearing of this garment for those taking exams.arun wrote:Retrograde move by Kerala High Court to permit Mohammadden religion mandated Burqua in examination centres. Garments like Burka that conceals facial identity and conceals knowledge that objects are being carried on person should not be permitted as it will facilitate cheating by allowing impersonators to take exam in place of candidate, allow concealment for notes that aid cheating and cause danger to students taking exam by allowing suicide bombers entry into examination centres besides promoting gender biased treatment of females.
This also could represent the thin end of the wedge for demands from Mohammadden groups to ram Mohammadden religious values down throats of Non-Mohammaddens in Non-Religious areas like Education. The Gods forbid that next there will not be demands for gender segregated classes in Medical colleges with gender matching teaching staff, class breaks in Medical Colleges to accommodate Mohammadden prayer times, no examinations or classes during Ramadan month, gender matching dissection cadavers etc. etc.:

More on the Mohammadden identity of the Terrorists from Hindustan Times which besides mentioning that terrorists were uncircumscribed also talks of body hair being shaved, a practice followed by Mohammadden suicide attackers :Terrorists in Gurdaspur Attack Were Muslim: Police ……………………….
"The inspection of the bodies shows that the assailants were Muslims,"
Origin of Mohammadden Terrorists that attacked Gurdaspur using GPS data tracked back to our Mohammadden Terrorism fomenting Western neighbor the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:Gurdaspur attackers in early 20s, had trimmed beard, shaved chest, GPS devices ……………………..
Three heavily armed terrorists behind Monday’s audacious attack in Gurdaspur district were ostensibly Muslims, said official sources ……………………….
“The gunmen, in their early 20s, were found to be circumcised and had their chests shaved and beards trimmed. In most of the previous attacks we have found suicide or fidayeen attackers shave their chest before embarking on suicide mission,” said a senior government functionary who was involved in the operation to neutralise them. …………………………..
Also, when Punjab Police cornered them, they were repeatedly heard raising slogans such as “Allah-hu-Akbar” and “Pakistan Zinbaad”.
“The gunmen had two global positioning system (GPS) devices to help them move towards their intended locations. Tracking of these GPS devices has clearly indicated that the terrorists came from the Pakistani side towards Pathankot, said a senior police officer.
“This is first time that terrorists after sneaking in from Pakistan in Jammu area have come towards Punjab. There is heavy police bandobast in Jammu and Kashmir due to the annual Amarnath Yatra. That might be the reason they may have come down to bordering district in Punjab,”
Islamic State out of Thousands of Dollars by Posing as Potential Brides 
Three young Chechen women are in troubleafter being caught scamming Islamic State (IS) fighters out of thousands of dollars by posing as wannabe jihadi brides, according to reports in Russia.
Russian website Life News reported that the scam began on social networks, where the women would begin to contact IS militants in Syria and Iraq. If the targeted jihadi "bought" their ruse, the girl would send him pictures.
[/b]One of those involved, Maryam, told the website that one man in particular began communicating with her at first. "He began to lure me, saying: 'Do you want to come to Syria, [it is] very good.' I told him that I had no money," she said. So the man wired her 10,000 rubles ($168).[*]
[*] One easy wayAccording to the site, several people are currently detained in Chechnyafor engaging in similar scams perpetrated against Islamic State militants. Those believed to have participated in them include men as well as women.[*]
to make Sharia compliant living in 'poor' Islamic countries like Pakiland and Turkee ! See here:In early 2011, then-CIA Director Leon Panetta confronted the president of Pakistan with a disturbing piece of intelligence. The spy agency had learned that Mohammad Omar, the Taliban leader who had become one of the world’s most wanted fugitives after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was being treated at a hospital in southern Pakistan.
The American spy chief even identified the facility — the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi — and said the CIA had “some raw intelligence on this” that would soon be shared with its Pakistani counterpart, according to diplomatic files that summarize the exchange.
U.S. intelligence officials now think that Omar probably died two years later, in 2013, and Afghan officials said this week that he succumbed while being treated for a serious illness in a Karachi hospital, just as those earlier intelligence reports had indicated.

MUMBAI:The Maharashtra unit of the Samajwadi Party on late Friday night stirred a controversy over “honouring” hanged bomb blast convict Yakub Memon’s widow Raheen.
The state unit has sent a letter to party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav demanding a Parliament seat for Raheen as a token of appreciation for the trouble she suffered for 22 years during her husband’s imprisonment.
The letter signed by party state vice-president Muhammad Farook Ghosi stated: “I found Raheen Memon helpless. There could be so many helpless people in the country. We have to fight for them. The Muslims too believe that they are helpless. We should make her a Member of Parliament and let her become a voice of helpless people.”
The mid and late 19th century was a highly charged period in India. The centuries-old Muslim Empire in the region had collapsed and the British were consolidating their colonial rule over a vast expanse teeming with millions of people belonging to a number of faiths.
Though powered by superior military might and the novel vintages of the ‘Industrial Age,’ the British colonialists somewhat struggled to determine the religious complexities found in the region — especially when a wave of reformist religious movements erupted in India just before and after the complete downfall of the Mughal Empire in 1857.
These movements emerged from within the Hindu majority as well as from among the significant Muslim and Sikh minorities of India. One of the triggers in this respect was the intensifying of Christian missionary activity that was indirectly encouraged by the British.
The reformist movements also tried to tackle ideas introduced by the British culled from the zeitgeists of the ‘Age of Reason’ and the ‘Age of Enlightenment’ that appeared in the West (in the 17th and 18th centuries).
During these eras, social and political emphasis in the West had gradually shifted away from religious / clerical authority, feudalism and tradition to reason / rationalism, empiricism and science.
In 1875 the Hindu reformist movement, the Arya Samaj, emerged. It attempted to configure Hinduism as a unified and ‘enlightened’ faith. To counter Christian and rationalist criticism of it being outmoded and even exploitative, the Samaj introduced a Hinduism that was centred entirely on the Vedas and devoid of idol worship. It accepted women’s rights and the belief in a single supreme deity, the Om. It also claimed to be superior to Christianity and Islam.
On the other hand, four strands of reformers appeared from among the Sunni Muslims. The ‘Deobandis’ were a kind of reformed believers of Sufism who advocated a more scholastic understanding of Islam as a ‘pristine faith’ that should be liberated from ‘innovations’ popular in South Asian folk Islam. They also rejected the modernist interpretations of the faith’s scriptures.
The ‘Baralvies’, however, defended the rituals and beliefs associated with the region’s folk Islam that was a hybrid of Sufism and various local traditions associated with a majority of Muslims in India.
On the other end were the Ahl-i-Hadees who were directly inspired by the puritanical and stern doctrines of Saudi ‘Wahabism’. There also emerged prolific ‘modernists’ who advocated a more rational and ‘scientific’ understanding of Islamic texts.
As frantic polemical treatises and literature flew thick and fast between these four strands; and between the Hindus and Christians; and then between Hindus, Christians and Muslims, a battle of propaganda too erupted in which reformist religious groups proudly paraded the number of converts they had managed to bag.
One of the most intriguing cases in this context was of Ghazi Mehmood that became all the rage in the early 1900s but has faded away from history books.
In 2011 a Pakistani historian of repute and researcher, Dr Ali Usman Qasmi, brought it back to life in his brilliant study of the enigmatic ‘Ahl-i-Quran’ Movement in the Punjab (that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries).
Before Usman, Mohammad Ishaq Bhatti had penned a whole article (in Urdu) on the Ghazi Mehmood case in Al-Ai’tasam (in 2003).
Ghazi Mehmood was born into a middle-class Sunni Muslim family and exhibited a great interest in the study of Islam. As a teenager, however, he was put off by a sermon that he had heard in a mosque and increasingly became sceptical about his faith.
In 1899 he moved close to a small Hindu reformist outfit, the Dev Samaj. Though he did not convert to Hinduism, he did change his surname to Dharampal and became Ghazi Dharampal.
Unable to reconcile to some beliefs of the Dev Samaj, Ghazi broke away from the group. But soon he was successfully engaged by the Arya Samaj. In 1903, at the age of 21, he finally embraced Hinduism and began working for the Arya Samaj.
The Samaj aggressively publicised this conversion through pamphlets and Hindi newspapers and then financed Ghazi’s first book, Tark-i-Islam, in which he explained why he renounced his original faith.
He continued to publish treatises for the Samaj. He was challenged by counter-treatises that attempted to blunt his criticism. Most of these were authored by Sanaullah Amritsari, an aggressive Ahl-i-Hadees polemicist, and Hakim Nuruddin, a member of the Ahamadiyya community.
Ghazi also began publishing a Hindi monthly dedicated to promoting Arya Samaj beliefs. However, in 1913 he fell in love with a Brahmin widow and married her. This is when he had a falling out with the Samaj whose leadership did not approve of the marriage.
Distressed by the way his friends in the Samaj had responded to his marriage to a Brahmin widow, Ghazi authored an appeal to scholars of all faiths (in India) pleading which religion could guarantee the rights of his wife and children without discrimination.
He received dozens of responses. But it was the response from a judge and scholar from the Ahl-i-Hadees branch, Sulayman Mansurpuri, which appealed the most to Ghazi.
The judge wrote that he (Ghazi) was lawfully married and that his children had equal rights even if their mother chose to remain a Hindu.
This response saw Ghazi visit the judge and agree to re-enter the fold of Islam.
Ghazi now spent his scholastic energies in writing treatises against the Arya Samaj (denouncing their ‘hypocrisies’).
But he was soon at loggerheads with the Ahle-i-Hadees, founding their ideas to be too cumbersome and retrogressive. It was at this point that he was adopted by the so-called ‘Ahl-i-Quran’ Movement. The movement insisted that the Quran alone should be the focus of all law-making in Islam and rejected all other Muslim texts as being largely ‘man-made’.
So, from being a curious young Sunni Muslim, Ghazi became a poster-boy of Hindu reformists, to becoming a scholar of the Ahl-i-Hadees branch, to finally being adopted by the rationalist Ahl-i-Quran Movement.
His conversion to Hinduism and re-conversion to Islam were both highly publicised events. Interestingly, though the memory and mention of his case eventually faded away, historians who dragged it out again referred to him as Ghazi Mehmood Dharampal.
This is because though after his re-conversion to Islam he restored his Muslim surname, Mehmood, he did not discard the Hindu surname that he had adopted in 1899.
He died in 1960 at the age of 78 and was given a proper Muslim burial. Little is known what became of his beliefs after the withering away of the Ahl-i-Quran Movement in the early 1940s.
From Daily O at the below link:Bottom line: Terror truly has no religion. LTTE terrorists in Sri Lanka were Hindus. Irgun terrorists in Israel were Jews. Red Army Faction terrorists in Germany were Christians. The difference lies in degree and scale. Islamist terror is a global scourge. The others are or were local. Treating them on par is blinding oneself to reality.

The price tariff is simple – the older they are the cheaper they are. All prices are quoted in Iraqi Dinars but US dollar equivalent shows that radical fighters can get children aged 1 to 9 for about $165, prices for adolescent girls are $124 and it’s less for women over 20. Women over 40 cost as little as $41.
